第六章 佛教傳統中的肉類 10

10. Vajrayana (I will use the term Tibetan Buddhism from now on) is another matter. Most Tibetan Buddhists - living Buddhas, manifestations of Manjusri, rimpoches and tulkus included, don’t just eat meat, they consume it with gusto. When I read works on Tibetan Buddhism I find the subject of compassion is nearly always mentioned somewhere; and so it should be. As if to emphasize its central position in Tibetan Buddhism, it is usually referred to not just as compassion but as ‘great compassion’ (maha karuna).
